Origami geometry could scale open-ocean seaweed carbon farming
Original: Origami geometry could make open-ocean seaweed farming scalable for carbon sequestration
Researchers say origami-inspired geometry could make open-ocean seaweed farming scalable as a carbon sequestration tool. By folding structures that hold seaweed in productive zones while withstanding waves, the design aims to overcome the practical limits that have kept offshore kelp cultivation small-scale. Interest centres on whether farmed seaweed can meaningfully absorb carbon dioxide at industrial scale, a question closely watched in climate and ocean science circles.
Why now: New research suggests a practical engineering fix to a major barrier in using seaweed for climate mitigation.
